Job description

Title: Oracle Database Administrator 
Location: Audubon, PA (Hybrid: 2x per week on site)
Duration: 1 year

 

W-2 ONLY. NO CORP. to CORP. or 1099s. No exceptions.

Hybrid (2 X per week onsite. No exceptions)

Need On-Prem Oracle DBA experience. 


Description: Our client is taking database administration to the next level with automation and better configuration management. Be a part of the new team that is making this happen. They have an even mix of Oracle and MSSQL installations across multiple environments, but this role will concentrate on Oracle database administration and engineering in IBM AIX UNIX, Oracle Exadata and RedHat Linux environments. 
Responsibilities:

  • Day to day administration of On-prem Oracle databases, Exadata and the UNIX (IBM AIX) servers they run on. 
  • Monitoring of the Oracle database infrastructure to ensure optimum performance.
  • Supporting continuous integration code releases at the database layer.
  • Improving database support/administration services via the use of automation and other appropriate tooling.
  • Suggest improvements to current services provided based on past experiences and know-how.
  • Work with Java Developers and .NET Developers that use Oracle database.
  • Take part in new projects as Oracle SME (subject matter expert).
  • Participate in Agile SCRUM meetings.

Requirements:

  • Experience administering On-prem Oracle databases running on UNIX (IBM AIX or RedHat Linux). Hiring team is seeking less cloud and more on prem experience.
  • Experience with monitoring Oracle instances via OEM.
  • Experience with Oracle Dataguard and Oracle RAC.
  • Understanding of Oracle and database concepts and architecture (Goldengate experience is desired).
  • Experience tuning queries and the overall database for performance.
  • Experience with configuration management tools like puppet/Ansible.
  • Experience with containers and Oracle’s pluggable database infrastructure.
  • Experience with UNIX, either IBM AIX and/or RedHat Linux (RHEL).
  • Excellent communication /customer service skills.
  • Ability to understand others and clearly express thoughts.
  • Demonstrated commitment to customer service and quality deliverables.
  • Have an understanding of backup and recovery tools e.g. Cohesity, Spectrum Protect etc.


Nice to Have (but NOT required)

  • Microsoft SQL SSxS tools (SSIS/SSRS).
  • Splunk preferred.
  • Exadata preferred.

 

Notes from Hiring Manager: 

  • They need candidates with more on-prem Oracle DBA skills as they’re not quite there yet when it comes to the cloud.
  • Need candidates who are strong with backup & recovery and tuning in an on-prem environment.
  • They are looking for 5 years of on prem experience but, will look at strong candidates with 3-5 years’ of on-prem experience.
  • They need someone who is cool, calm and collected as their environment can get hectic.
  • They need someone who can work independently.
  • They won’t consider remote candidates as they need to be onsite for drills that they run and, when things break, they are expected to be on campus.
  • The days can vary and they are flexible. Being in on Tuesday and Wednesdays are ideal but, if they want to do Tuesday and Thursday or Wednesday and Thursday, they can work with it.
  • If the candidate has strong on-prem skills and Exadata, that is a huge plus. If they don’t have Exadata experience, they can train them on it.
  • Communication skills and personality are vital as they will be working closely with the business units and will be embedded with the business.
